BizForm Notifications
Hello,

We are sending a confirmation email to the client using BizForm.SendConfirmationEmail but I don't see any way to customize the template of that email. When I sent a sample to myself, the subject was "Bizform message - BIZFORMNAME" and the body of the email was empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi

You can customise the confirmation in

CMS Desk > Tools > BizForms > {Your Form Name} > Autoresponder


Use the Insert Value button to personalise it to the site visitor who completed the form.

Good luck

RE:BizForm Notifications
Thanks but I don't think this will work exactly. Let me explain: we have a multi-step form using alternate form views so I don't want the email to go out until they have completed the last step. If I turn on the auto responder, it will be sent when they save the first step and move on to the second.

So, the next question would be: is there a way that I can save the form but not send emails? If I set StopProcessing = true I believe that will stop it from saving as well - correct? Or, what if I set this in the OnAfterSave event?

Thanks,
Ryan

Sorry, I haven't tried doing a multi-step form.

Just have a play and see what you can do.

If you find the solution please let the world know with a post.

Good luck

Hello Ryan,

Yes, you are right. Confirmation emails are sent after save action. So, if you set the BasicForm.StopProcessing property to false in the OnAfterSave event, confirmation e-mail will not be sent.

Best regards,

Great! So I can still use the autoresponder functionality to build the template. Then call StopProcessing so the email doesn't get sent; and then manually send as needed.

Thank you!
Ryan
